WEBRick initialization

[Alexey Verkhovsky]

I have some WEBRick server that I would like to run as WEBRick:aemon
(that's where a startup process forks a daemon and exits). The problem
is, there is some initialization code that must be executed _after_ the
fork (it opens a file for writing). Is there any good way to make it
happen (short of overriding WEBRick:aemon#start method)?

Best regards,
Alexey Verkhovsky

How about calling WEBrick:aemon.start directly?

require "webrick"

WEBrick:aemon.start
httpd = WEBrick::HTTPServer.newPort=>10080)
trapINT){ httpd.stop }
httpd.mount_proc("/"){|req, res|
res["content-type"] = "text/plain"
res.body = $$.to_s
}
httpd.start
